Unzipped Media Acquires GayWired.com

LOS ANGELES – Unzipped Media has added GayWired.com to its family of print and electronic publications covering the LGBT community.

GayWired will continue to provide a hip, youthful spin on celebrity and pop-culture topics — including breaking news, politics, entertainment, photos and gossip — for which it has become known, the new owners indicated.

“Gays and lesbians have always been savvy when it comes to popular culture, and GayWired.com is a longstanding destination for gay entertainment news on the Web,” said Unzipped Media Publisher Dustin Tyner. “GayWired.com has a sexy take on pop culture while providing content that’s 100-percent safe for work.”

Tyner also said the acquisition of GayWired.com will allow Unzipped Media to “reach outside of the adult marketplace and become a diverse entertainment company.”

As one of the oldest gay portals on the Web, “GayWired.com has become the go-to source for a queer perspective on breaking entertainment news,” according to Editor Sean Carnage. “We are thrilled to be a part of the Unzipped Media family.”
